A very moist banana cookie bar. These never last long in my house. Dust with powdered sugar before cutting. I love these as a frozen treat. After cutting, package the bars in snack bags and freeze. Then just pull out a bag and munch whenever you want!

  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cookie bars tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookie bars hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookie bars until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookie bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from falling apart.
